Present-day ornate wooden windows frames in Suzdal

Many of you, and (to tell the truth) me, too, prefer the old window frames and, subconsciously, refuse modern ones in being entitled “traditional”. And yes, sad truth is that the majority of things done in wooden architecture during the last decades of the XXth century and in our days, is a far cry from the century’s old best samples, both in terms of quality and of that subtle and immeasurable described usually as just a beauty.

Yet when I was in Suzdal I had discovered we, too, have something to keep for our offsprings. We certainly should not be ashamed of window frames like this one!
